This scheme enables a PhD student or junior fellow funded through the Wellcome Trust Medical Humanities (MH) programme to undertake a three-month fellowship at the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST).

The Wellcome Trust-POST Fellowship allows unique access to a parliamentary and policy-making setting, thereby facilitating the real-world application of policy relevant research in medical humanities.

It is intended to develop awareness of policy environments and processes, and to raise a medical humanities related issue among a parliamentary audience.
